License Plate Crab wall or table sculpture (16” x 14” x 3”) Is there any better use for an old Maryland license plate, or any other state on the coast? Each of these crabs is made from a license plate and recycled aluminum traffic and/or interstate exit advertising signs - stop signs, yield signs, and/or signs indicating which motel, restaurant, or gas station found at a particular exit are common examples. All of these signs are rugged tenth-inch aluminum-backed 3M Scotchlite films or commercial reflective paint on aluminum. When viewing a sculpture, the colorful parts are made with the reflective part of the signage facing outward, and its silver-colored parts are made with the aluminum backside of the sign facing outward. The silver-colored parts are hand ground and clear coated with lacquer to add texture & depth, then all parts are riveted together and given another clear coat of lacquer making the sculpture suitable for outdoor or indoor mounting. Each crab is one-of-a-kind, the artist combining infinite sign-patterned graphics with the features of the license plate.
